Some remaining development tasks.
Please contact me (David Anderson) and post to boinc_dev if you want to help.

* Under the hood
 * Optimize GUI RPC polling mechanism, i.e. poll data specific to a single Activity within its onResume - onPause lifecycle.
 * Feasability of GPU computation, e.g. LG Nexus 4's GPU Adreno320 supports openCL 1.2
 * x86 and MIPS CPU arch support
 * GoogleTV support, GoogleTV devices of 2nd generation will receive an update to Android JellyBean and finally include NDK support.

* Appearance
 * Use ActionBar instead of TabHost. (requires API Level 11+)

* Features
 * Add suspend/resume controls into Notification
 * Support attach to account manager (requires change in the way we handle preferences, i.e. no override settings)
 * Add SD card support in client '''(working Hugo Puhlmann)'''
  * move BOINC's projects/ directory to SD card an force move of binaries into slots (executable)
  * think about how to handle storage status and preferences of clients
 * Support for x86-based Android devices. This should not require code changes, but adaption of the build process for the boinc client and the dummy library.
 * Support "user active" detection by including it into status RPC.
 * Notices tab.
 * Allow higher resolution project icons and slideshow images
 * Investigate whether game-like achievements (shareable through social media?) are interesting

* Localization - Translation

Notes:

 * So far we have been using icons found here: http://gentleface.com/free_icon_set.html
